As I Am Lyrics

Artist: Joan Jett and The Blackhearts
Album: Pure And Simple

(Joan Jett/Desmond Child)

OOOh, in another place and time OOOh, I will be the vision in your mind

I wanted to be everything you wantedI wanted to be everything you neededI wanted what I saidTo bring to you laughterI wanted what I did to make you smile

But in a perfect worldThere's no perfectionCause in a world of dreamsYou're only dreamingI want it to be realI just can't take it

As I amTake me as I amNow I'm only flesh and bloodOh I wish that you couldLove me as I am

You thought you had meTucked inside your pocketYou thought you had it under your controlYou can put my smiling picture in a locketBut you can't put a chain around my soul

But in a perfect worldThere's no perfectionCause in a world of dreamsYou're only dreamin'Don't make me feel like I can't make it

As I amTake me as I amNow I'm only flesh and bloodOh I wish that you couldLove me as I amAs I amNow I'm doing the best I canTry to understandAnd love me as I am

Oooo, in another place and timeOooo, I will be the vision in your mind

As I amTake me as I amNow I'm only flesh and bloodOh I wish that you couldLove me as I amAs I amNow I'm doing the best I canTry to understandNow I know God has a planAnd I guess that's why she made meAs I am
